Not sure where to put this, but as I want the information to be shown in form view, I guess this is the bext place to start.
In breif, I have created a database, in which infomation on machinery is held.
The problem I am having (atm), is I have to create a function, which I want to be presented in form form, where by each item can be searched by it's RequestID (unique) or the customer who owns it, so that its current location can be attached (or viewed).
I'm not sure whether i've worded this well, so to sumerise:
I need a form with 3 fields, RequestID, Customer and Location.
Where by I input the RequestID, which brings up the Customer and Location, or input Customer which brings up the RequestID and Location (obviously there will be mulitple results from Customer search).
Again, I hope I haven't confused anyone because it's pretty simple what i'm trying to say, but....
Im trying to set up a combobox on my Customer Contact Information form, where you can enter a phone/fax/cell/pager or any misc number, and it will bring up the appropriate customer.
Is it possible to make a query that will show the different phone number fields as one field?
Thank you so much for your help, and please let me know if I can clarify anything.
I have a form where a user enters data. One of the things the user enters is a "lot size". I need this lot size field to be checked against a query in the database to determine if the quantity is acceptable or not.
The order number in this query is in certain cases missing a leading zero, so I need to truncate this from the user entered form field.Finally I want the user to be notified if they are trying to exceed the lot size in the query.My code is as follows:
Code: Public Function RemoveFirstChar(RemFstChar As String) As String Dim TempString As String TempString = RemFstChar If Left(RemFstChar, 1) = "0" Then If Len(RemFstChar) > 1 Then TempString = Right(RemFstChar, Len(RemFstChar) - 1) End If End If
I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID Employee Name Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Date 4 Date 5 Date 6 Date 7 ....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:
In Access 2010, I have a table with two fields. The first field (Investor Name) contains several occurrences of the same text (i.e. Investor A occurs 2 times, Investor B occurs 3 times, etc.). The second field (Investment) may or may not contain duplicates (i.e. more than one Investor may have invested in the same Investment). I'm trying to create a query that will show me, in one record, all the Investments that each Investor has made.
So for the following data...
Investor Name Investment
Investor A Investment 1
Investor A Investment 2
Investor B Investment 1
Investor B Investment 3
Investor B Investment 4
I want the query to report back the following...
Investor Name 1st Investment 2nd Investment 3rd Investment
Investor A Investment 1 Investment 2
Investor B Investment 1 Investment 3 Investment 4
To clarify further, I'm NOT looking to concatenate the results into one field. Instead, I want each Investment to appear in its own field, so that I can pull each one into a report later. Ideally, there should be no limit to the number of Investments that each Investor has made, although practically speaking, it likely won't exceed 10 or so.
I've got a module which loads the data into a table, but it can't handle the records that are ~ delimited, so spits them out as a single field.
I know there is some VBA code that can be used to split comma delimited records, and I've seen bits of it floating around online and tried to alter it to work for the ~, but I get the feeling that what I've seen is only a part of the required code, how to put it all together to make something that actually works.
So, what I need to do is; - Split some records in a table out into multiple fields where there is a ~ present - Place these newly split fields into a table (I don't mind if it ends up in a new table or not)
I'm an expert user in Excel and am trying to learn more about Access, so I relate many of the functions to what they are called in Excel. And what I'm trying to do right now is count the number of fields in a specific record where the value is a specific result (CountIf).
For example, I need to return the number of fields in a specific record where the value is "Meets Requirements". The specific record will be determined by the Name, Contact, and Email fields (which together comprise the Primary Key).
Is there a way to count the values in multiple fields that equal "Meets Requirements"?
automatically adding modified date/time to a record as it changes..I have a work log database for a team of people to keep track of workflow (documents in/out, stage in the workflow, owner of the record, etc.). I have a number of records that I want to automatically update a corresponding date/time field when it is changed. For example, one part of the workflow tracks a document through the approval of 5 different people. So I have a five records that are yes/no flags for approval and five records that are date/time for when it was approved. Right now my team is manually entering the five date/time stamps, but I'd like to have it automatically update when the check the "yes" box and update that field in the record.
I have a basic form which currently displays different information such as name, date, country etc.
At the moment if I type anything into the fields it edits the data (allow edits is on).
Is it possible that if can type in a name and it will find the pieces of work by that named person rather than edit the field? At the same time I might want to search by name and date.
Currently I have a listbox that lists all the names and when selected it requeries that data and lists all records just by that name. I am wanting to also search by the fields.
Hi, I currently have an employee database - all info is currently in one table. I am wanting to create a search box in my form which allows me to search for multiple bits of information. ie. I would like to be able to type in either a first name, surname, full name, or employee id number (for example), press enter, and for it to display the results (either by going to the first that it finds, and me then clicking find next, or by displaying all found in an index so that you double click the one that you want - i am not too fussed... the main issue is getting the search box to look in multiple fields).
I currently have the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords DoCmd.GoToControl ("Surname") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind 'If FindRecord = True Then 'Exit Sub 'End If DoCmd.GoToControl ("EIN") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind 'If FindRecord = True Then 'Exit Sub 'End If DoCmd.GoToControl ("forename") DoCmd.FindRecord Me!txtIDFind
End Sub
(ignore the notes - they were trial and error for something else).
Currently, when i press find, this code will find the first of anything - ie i time in Frank and the first Frank will appear (unless someones surname begins with Frank). What i can't seem to do is get it to progress to the next record if i press a find next button.
I have also tried the following code, but it only works if i put in an EIN number:
Dim SearchStr2 As String SearchStr = "[PROTECHNIC_NUMBER] = " & "'" & Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![Protechnic_Number] & "'" _ And "[ICP_Code]" = Forms![FRMPATIENT]![Frm_ICP_Select].Form![ICP_Code] DoCmd.OpenForm "FRMASSESMENTHEAD", acNormal Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.Filter = SearchStr Forms!FRMASSESMENTHEAD.FilterOn = True
If the button is clicked it should open the FRMASSESMENTHEAD form where the Protechnic Number (which is a text field) and the ICP Code(which is numeric) is the same as the ones on the current subform.
It works great if just using one of the criteria but when i put the and command in and then add the second criteria i get an erroer message saying
Run-time error '13':
Type mismatch
hope this makes sense and can anyone help :confused:
Is there a way to search multiple tables for a record. I have 4 tables, each containing a different product. In each table are lists of serial numbers (primary key) and other information (ship_to, sales_order_number,etc.) for the product. I want to be able to enter a serial number and display the information related to that serial number. Not all fields are the same for each table. Is this possible? I would greatly appreciate any help!!
Ok folks I have what is proving to be a doozy for me.
I have a multiple table database related fields in each one are: Procedure Description Payable Amount
I am trying to find a way to search particular tables for particular Procedures. My output must include fields: Procedure, Description, Payable Amount. I have tried a form but I would have to included way too many text boxes to accompish what I am looking for. If possible I would like to have three text boxes if a form is possible. I would start the search and my output would end up in the text boxes below: Procedure, Description, Payable Amount
With of course some sort of Identifier of the table that was selected to search in.
I have a form bound to a table which has 20 (name)fields and 1 date per record. A user fills in this form first to indicate which people are present this day. I know it would be better to use 1 name per record but that would in this case not work since the form must show all names for that day before saving and closing.
I have a different form where I use 4 combo boxes and a date field. The values that can be selected in the combo boxes should come from the 20 names on the first form and with the same date as the other form. So only 4 people of the 20 indicated as present on that day can be selected to have performed some task.
I know how to select with a combo box from different records, but how would I do it from different fields in the same record? And then also for a particular date?
I have to send an Access table consisting entirely of Text fields to another company for automatic list cleansing. My table MUST NOT CONTAIN even a single comma, else the whole procedure will go Iraq-shaped.
Therefore before sending the table, I must apply FIND to each field (column) to search for that one comma that may have slipped in.
So far I know only how to search one column at a time. Is there a way of searching the whole table for commas within Access, rather than first exporting the table to Excel?
hi. i'm a novice with Access so any explantions need to be pretty simple. I'm trying to create a query that searches 2 fields when 1 word is entered into a parameter value box..... would any1 hav a sugestion. please post a reply if you don't understant what i'm trying to achieve.
I am trying to do a query that is set up like this:
I have a table with several fields which represents company vehicles. In each field, a persons name is inputed, unless no one is using the vehicle, in which then the field is blank. Each record represents one day, so the date is the primary key. I am trying to make a query look at each field, and pull out one persons name, and show which vehicles that person will use over a date range. I have a form setup where you put in the date and the name you want ([Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]), and I am trying to tell the query to look at the form field and bring back only the results with that persons name. Here is an SQL portion: ((Vehicles.[901 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[901 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[961 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[961 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[979 Morning])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name]) AND ((Vehicles.[979 Afternoon])=[Forms]![staff printing]![staff name])...
The date portion is working fine, which is why you do not see it here... it is only the portion where I try to pull the name for each vehicle that I have a problem. I tried putting an "OR" where all the "AND"s are, but no luck.
Any thoughts? (And let me know if I was not clear)
Ok, I used the wizard for the 1st time today to create a web page access to my database. Sure enough the fields I added all appear and can browse up and down the records.
My question is....How do you make it searchable ??? Is there already something there i can add to the page from design ?? or would anyone happen to have a bit of code I can manually add into the HTML to achieve this ??
Thanks for everything and anything.
I originally had this thread in the "queries" forum but had no answers. Maybe nobody knows, or maybe I was in wrong forum. I still might be in wrong forum, in which case apologies. It just sounds like an area I'd like to branch my database out as (I think). If this bit finds an answer my next problem is going to be to make sure that over the web page version I'd need it to be read only.
Hi, Im new to Access and VB so please be patient with me. Do know a little about sql queries though.
I have two tables. The first (clones) has another table (BLAST Nucleotide) which is dependent on it (ie: one clone can have many BLAST records)
I want to create a search where I can search by either clone name or BLAST name, and return the results in a list box, and then select an entry from the list & view
I have three tables that are named different, but have the same column names, but different data in them. The data in each table is linked by a master table that has a primary key.
What I need is a way to make a form with a box where I can search on a value that could be in any of the three tables and then the associted information from the site will display in the above boxes.
(Site Master Table contains all site information and the primary key) (The three tables are sales order information. Stage Only table, Install table, and srop ship table)
i have created a form for my database where i intend to give the user the option of searhing my more than one criteria but not all. i have used a system of combo boxes for the user to enter thier choises leaving the combobox blank for any criteria they dont know. the user then clicks th button to open the query
in the query i have set the criteria for the fields to equall the related combo bo in the form.
however if the comboboy is left blank (0 or null) the query looks for a record where that field is also null. as a result it wont return any records.
an example
on the table tblFault there is the record
FaultID; 7 Computer id; 2 Name; c Room-ID; it1 Date Of Fault; 05/06/07
on the form the user enters the following values into the combobox
FaultID; 7 ComputerID; Nme; c Room-ID; it1 Date of Fault 05/06/07
the query returns no records insead of the record above. this is because it is looking for a record in the table where the Computer-ID field contains a null value.
is ther a way to ignore the chriteria if the combobox contains a null value????
i have tried to use vb to convert all null values to be "Like "*"" but it keeps returning a type missmatch error but still changes to combo box value to ; Like .
I am in the process of creating a database in access to search for a persons name. However, the results will give many ansers. For example if I search for the srname 'jones' I get many names. I eed then to be able to select one of these jones's with the information relavent information.
It has many years since I have done this although i did have quite a good knowledge at the time. Plesae can you make any suggestions and answers as basic as possible !
Many thanks in advance http://forums.aspfree.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=18# Mad
OK - I'm kinda new to all this stuff (as you're about to find out from my question).
I've got a page with a search form, where visitors enter a search term. That page uses GET to pass the variable to the results page. The SQL on the results page is pretty simple, it just takes the variable from the URL and filters for records:
WHERE columnname CONTAINS Request.QueryString("passedvariable")
So that all works fine - except that it does not allow for complex searches. If someone searches for 'fish' then that works fine. If someone searches for 'fish and food' then the search looks for "fish and food" somewhere in the record, rather than looking for both of those terms in a record.
Now, I'm guessing that there's no simple solution for who to get this to work, but I'm hoping that someone can help me out and at least point me in the right direction. I'd be happy to post additional code if you need it - but I don't even know what else to post!
I have around twenty shipment tables for different days and one main store check table.In the shipment tables i have bill numbers that correspond with shipping id's and in the store table i only have bill numbers.
I would like to check if the bill number in the store table appears in all 20 tables.after doing that i want the corresponding shipping ID to appear in the store table. Is this possible?
i have a form with a control for "repair type" and a subform that has a query that searches a table holding vehicle repair records. on the form the user can enter up to 5 repair types, [repair1], [repair2], etc.. Then the control on the form holds each type of repair to search by. Since the user could use one or all five repair fields and put repair types likes brakes in field one on one record and field 5 on another record, how do i search to just pull out those records that have the specified search criteria?
If i put in [form]![control] in each of the 5 criteria in the query it comes back with no records, because it it looking for that type in every repair field rather than once between the five fields?
